My Happy Hounds

Sunday 11 January 2015

Cara, the awesome Mimic!

Khan is a big boy and he has the voice to go with his appearance; deep resonating reverberating barks that you hear wherever you are in the house or garden!! He is awesome.
In addition to his strident barking, he has developed the ability to howl; he throws his head back and lets out a howl that a pack of wolves would be proud off, which then gently winds down to a whimper and finally silence. Mike, the dogs and I are in awe when he exercises his vocal chords and naturally Cara doesn't wish to be left out. So, Khan and Cara barking merrily together- Kingsdale harmonics in full flow.
Cara has never howled, not even given it an attempt until Khan arrived on the scene. It has taken her 5 weeks to finally come out of the closet and she chose last night to dramatically show off her singing talents.
A disturbance outside caused Khan to bolt into action; barking for a few minutes, followed by howling which prompted Cara to throw her head back and join in.
The Gray Wolves at Yellowstone National Park would have been proud of them both; Ok, I was proud of them both in between laughing and howling with them!!

I am wondering if she will retain this new singing ability or will she only howl with Khan?
You may be wondering what Benny Bear was doing throughout their performance? Did he have his paws over his ears or was he joining in? Neither, he was looking bemused and I could imagine him thinking" Kids, when will they grow up"?!!



Does your dog howl and if so when and at what? Does your dog like company and would he or she like to come and join Cara for a session!!  


Bye from the Kingsdale Howlers!
